MSTEP Prep – Students should continue to practice with MobyMax everyday. I would like to point out that students will not be able to use any classroom materials or extra resources during the MSTEP or NWEA. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the have all their multiplication facts memorized by MAY 8th. This will help greatly with their success on the math portion of the test.
